IT WAS A GREAT ASSIGNMENT, ALL THESE DIFFERENT FOODS I HAVE HAD OVER THE YEARS. DESPITE SOME OF THEM THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE WOULD NEVER KNOW ABOUT. >> TANDOORI CHICKEN AND PUNJABI NABA.

ERIC BRENNAN IS THE CHEF. >> WE TRY TO GET THE CRUST. WET-AGED IS DIFFERENT FROM DRY-AGED. YOU GET A PRODUCT THAT IS SIMILAR, SOME OF THE NUTTINESS. NOT QUITE AS MUCH CHARACTER. A DIFFERENT FEEL TO THE MEAL. IT WOULD MAKE RON SWANSON PROUD. IF YOU'RE GOING TO TREAT YOURSELF TO SOMETHING, THAT IS WHERE YOU SHOULD GO. >> CHRISTIANSEN GIVES PROPS TO THE BOSTON CREAM PIE AT THE PARKER HOUSE, A CROWDPLEASER SINCE 1856. ANOTHER CLASSIC, THE PRIME RIB AT DURGEN PARK. THEY SAY NO ONE WALKS AWAY HUNGRY. OR HOUSE ROASTED ROAST BEEF WITH THOUSAND ISLAND DRESSING ON BRIOCHE.

J.C.: THE PIZZAS ARE SPECIAL. BUT THE SERVICE?
